Source of Recipe

From "Festive Holiday Recipes" by Addie Gundry


Recipe Introduction

"I love putting seasonal produce to work during the holidays, and this winter squash recipe allows me to do exactly that. Plus, you can save the seeds to roast later as a snack."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 (1 ½- to 2-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
â—¦ ¼ cup light brown sugar (not packed)
â—¦ 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
â—¦ 2 tablespoons olive oil
â—¦ Salt
â—¦ Fresh thyme, for garnish


Recipe

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Scatter the squash cubes on the sheet. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon, drizzle with the oil, and season with salt. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the squash is golden brown and tender.

Let cool for 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning, if needed. Spoon into a serving bowl, garnish with thyme, and serve.
